About

The work runs horizontally. So do we.

Solving problems horizontally, rather than inside any one function.

Polymath Digital is an enterprise value realization firm. We help organizations get more from the people, processes and technology they already have by solving problems horizontally — across functions, systems and teams — rather than inside any one of them.

Most firms are organized the way their clients are: a practice per function, a specialist per platform. That works for problems that live inside a function. It is the wrong shape for the ones that live between them, which is where the remaining value in most organizations now sits.

We combine senior operators, functional expertise, enterprise architecture, process redesign and direct technical execution in a single engagement, and we bring only what the outcome requires.

Leadership

The team you meet is the team that delivers.

Chintu Chandrakandan

Founder & CEO

Chintu has held various executive roles across finance, global HR shared services, technology, corporate strategy and enterprise data — including running predictive data and analytics for commercial teams, and serving as Chief of Staff to a CEO. His career has spanned workforce planning and P&L forecasting, Workday implementations, M&A integration, and global data and insights. He works business-first, with technology as the enabler, and founded Polymath to solve the cross-functional problems he spent his operating career meeting from the inside.

How we staff

No pyramid underneath the engagement.

Engagements are staffed as a POD — a small senior team assembled for the specific problem, drawing on operators, architects, engineers and change capability. You get direct access to the people doing the work. There is no pyramid underneath the engagement and no leverage model to protect, which is why the team you meet is the team that delivers.

Value. Realized.
